Less Is Only More Where More Is No Good –Frank Lloyd Wright
+
The new Stern Projects LLC website launched today. Stern Projects LLC is the bespoke building and construction management firm for New York City’s most refined real estate and residents. As the son of notable architect, Robert A.M. Stern, Nicholas S.G. Stern learned invaluable lessons about the delicate balance between form and function. Working with the most esteemed architects, designers and clients in distinguished buildings and on notable blocks across Manhattan, they are dedicated to realizing unique aesthetic visions, and passionately execute superlative iterations of interior and exterior art and craft.I have to admit I have a direct connection to this website – having designed it. Creating the Stern Projects website gave me the great opportunity to work with images from some of America's top Architectural photographers such as Peter Aaron/Esto, who photographed Robert A.M. Stern Architects Greek Revival Townhouse; David S. Allee, who photographed the Legorreta + Legorreta Architects Central Park West Penthouse; Andrew Garn, who photographed the Axis Mundi Architects Federal Townhouse; Joshua McHugh, who photographed the gold room with Buddha image on the Home page; and Peter Paige, who photographed the Gustavson/Dundes Architects Central Park South Penthouse.
What makes this group of individuals best in their field? Peter Aaron says of his work on his website, "The great photographer Arnold Newman said, "Photography is one percent inspiration and ninety-nine percent moving furniture." In addition to pondering these issues, along with color, contrast, and composition, I try to create several views within each larger picture."

David S. Allee
photographed the extraordinary Central Park West Penthouse designed by Mexican Architects Legorreta + Legorreta, working with our web project guru, Richard Mauro, Director of Media, Sara Vass Public Relations & Consulting firm. Mauro commented, “David Allee’s photographs for Stern Projects interpret the architect’s vision and the builder’s craft as fine art. Utilizing available light and uncomplicated equipment, he captured the sophisticated and modern sculptural drama in this extraordinary penthouse overlooking Central Park. I cannot wait to work with him, again.” Allee's other assignments have included photographing the Frank Lloyd Wright designed houses, Fallingwater and the Massaro House, as well as many other pieces for NY Magazine. Besides his interiors, Allee, a former urban planner, is also known for his fine art photography, some shown here at the Morgan Lehman Gallery.

"I have a special fondness for Joni Sternbach's unique tintype images. Having lived in *Montauk for over 15 years, many of Sternbach's photographs were taken just down the cliff's from us at 'Turtle Cove' and 'Ditch Plains', and I recognize some of the locals in her book SurfLand. But it's the beauty and expertise of her wet-plate technique that really sets Sternbach's work apart from the rest of us."

"Working with a large-format camera, photographer Joni Sternbach concentrates on locations that are close to or directly on the water. In an era of rapid-fire digital snapshots, Sternbach employs the wet-plate collodion process and the distinctive appearance of her finished works echoes nineteenth-century traditions of anthropological photography. The wet-plate technique informs her careful compositions while producing intimate portraits imbued with spontaneity and the raw quality of the process reveals the dignity in her subjects. In SurfLand, photographer and subject overlap on the periphery of two powerful elements: the land and the sea. The singular, primitive act of surfing on the water is eclipsed by the social and negotiated state of human interaction on the shore. Sternbach's surfers are persistent elements in a shifting natural scene, acting as a bridge between the sea as an unbridled force of nature and the shore line, a place of leisure and cultural phenomena." –Flak Photo's March Weekend Series

The stress, the chaos, and the need to simultaneously escape and connect are issues that I investigate in this body of work....I believe there are moments that can be found throughout any given day that bring sanctuary. It is in finding these moments amidst the stress of the everyday that my life as a mother parallels my work as an artist, and where the dynamics of family life throughout time seem remarkably unchanged. As an artist and as a mother, I believe life’s most poignant moments come from the ability to fuse fantasy and reality: to see the mythic amidst the chaos.

I decided to...photograph the idealized scenes that I fantasized about, where songbirds decorated the trees as I moved through the landscape.
+ + +

I'm so pleased to see Princeton Architectural Press has published Paula McCartney's first monograph, Bird Watching. “These are gorgeous images, and in that sense, they are worthy of their subjects. She’s not laughing at us by drawing us into her fantasy, rather, she’s playfully reminding us that all photographs indulge in certain fictions...she takes us on a journey that is educative and inspiring”.—Darius Himes, editor, Radius Books.

Paula McCartney will discuss her work with Darius Himes (Founding Editor of Radius Books), together with a book signing, on Saturday March 6, 1:00 pm—2:00 pm KLOMPCHING Gallery, DUMBO
